Thanks for all of the great information! I have to be honest. THIS is the FIRST time I have taken the time from “info overload” to read your blog. While I was waiting to read carefully EVERY WORD OF THE SO-CALLED “GURUS”, I was neglecting what I really need….a human being who cares and will help a newbie and beyond! Funny, because in my “real life” relationships and building and nurturing them are what I am all about….thanks for reminding me that the people on the internet are REAL, too!
Here is a really “elementary” question. I am trying to use clickbank or paydotcom to be an affiliate for people selling e-books. I have connected all the dots but one piece of the puzzle continues to eleude me. When I choose a product that comes with its own sales material, I enter my private affiliate code and change it all to be MY money-making material. Now I am ready to sell. However, do I need a website if they provide banners and e-mails and articles, etc? Just how should I structure this? I tolld you that this was “elementary” but I am used to purchasing packages from the gurus that come all completed….I haven’t made any money anywhere yet!

Thanks so much and God bless you for all of your help!

Craig’s reply…

Again..i’ve replied this many times…

Hi Toni,

If I could be honest with you, there are a thrillion ways to make money on the internet..
Alright I’m exaggerating but here’s the crunch..

Do not let the so called gurus push you around because you really need to learn and decide
For yourself what makes sense and which direction you should take.

With so many ways to make money and with the thousands of courses out there, you’re bound
To get information overload even if a 1000 ebooks has a step by step formula.

Here’s my simple formula.

Select A Hot Market
A hot market is usually one that people are desperate for solution such as sex, love, money and health
In fact, the money making market is filled with desperate people like you..
In the love market, there are man who are desperately looking for a mate..(dating niche is big)
In the health market, lots of people are suffering physically and is need of help

Select A Hot Affiliate Product For The Hot Market
Find not just good products but products that are hot and very convincing.
Use clickbank.com paydotcom.com to find hot products (or you can simply go to google and type in your keyword +affiliate program eg. “Dating affiliate program”
(information products are usually the best since people come online to look for information)

Setup A website
Alright, this is rather technical but most website that are good, you can just copy and edit..
You can get free video everywhere..here are some examples
http://masscontrolsite.com/blog/?p=7
http://masscontrolsite.com/blog/?p=8

On the toolbar you’ll get all the videos you need to create your site…

You will also need an autoresponder such as aweber.com

Get Traffic
Build a list by driving traffic to your optin page using
Google adwords or other pay per click
Blogging is a good way to start to get traffic.as long as there is content you’ll get traffic
Post videos on youtube and other video sites to get traffic
Write articles and submit to ezinearticles.com (by far one of the best free method to get traffic to your site)

Convert to customers using email persuasion
Which is nothing difficult as you just repeat the benefits of the product using the product’s sales page

Repeat the same process for which ever market for whichever product.

May I be frank with you..The internet game is easy for me to say the least..but that’s because I’ve spend countless nights and hours for the last 7yrs Spending well over 50 grand online and getting the experience in order to get to where I am.a good 5 figure income.

I’ve got friends who makes 6-8 grand a month residually..and you might be surprise at their strategy.If I may put it aptly, it’s the 1000 self-written article strategy.

It’s hard work in the beginning but it pays off.

I am no guru because there are literally thousands of people who are making good income online discreetly, many of which are making more Than the so-called gurus. The truth is, they just want to keep themselves out of the limelight (especially when you’re making good income online, it draws attention..some people like the attention & some not…).

I’m not sure if you can understand where I’m coming from but here’s my take on how you can become successful online..

1.) Focus on getting the experience
Many people are spending too much time focusing on immediate returns so much so that they give up easily.
Ever recall when you first learnt how to bat a baseball bat or ride a bicycle?
No matter how good a coach such as our “Pop aka Dad” is, we do not bat it right the first time…or do you?
It takes tons of practice before anyone could bat like Babe Ruth..
I recalled I had to evaluate my batting when I first started out..until it became intuitive..
Yes..the keyword is Intuition.I can now intuitively tell you what to do because I’ve done it tons of times..
Your focus should be on the experience rather than instant gratification..
If you want to be good at marketing..try marketing products online..(get the experience..if you fail, try again..think through. it’s the same process when you’re picking up any sports or anything per se) before you know it, You’ll be able to do it intuitively..(what most people would say..talent)

2.) Simple formula for making money online
No Sale = No Money
No Subscriber=No Sale
No Optin=No Subscriber
No Traffic = No Optin
Step 1 = Aim to get 100 visitors to your optin page first & work on improving your conversion Step 2 = Aim to get 100 Subscribers Step 3 = Aim to get 1 Sale (since conversion rate for an average salesletter website is around 1-4%) if you can’t get pass Step 1.don’t buy any course. You should read “One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way by Robert Maurer.

Hope this helps,
